HARK
HARK is a work in progress by artists David Cottridge and David Chapman - an audio-visual installation of stunning images combined with hypnotic sounds to transform our perceptions of landscape
David Cottridge’s photographs explore the texture, colour and form of tree bark, lichens and mosses through a series of large scale macroscopic photographs. The sound element of HARK, made by David Chapman, is based entirely on field recordings (bio-acoustic and environmental) made in Gunpowder Park, with some additional material from the Fisher’s Green area of the River Lee Country Park north of Gunpowder Park and the M25.
The combination of images and sound explore both the subjective relations between the two elements and the use of the images as a form of ‘graphic score’ for the compositions. The audio responds to the textures, shapes and patterns within the images, triggering sounds which have some form of association / connection, sometimes creating paradoxical relationships between what we see and what we hear.
The multimedia presentation in the Field Station was supported by a photographic installation within The Salix area of Gunpowder Park, near the north boardwalk entrance. This installation remains in place.
This project was part funded by Arts Council England.
